Temporary Prefabricated Housing for Construction Workers — A Practical Solution for Project Sites

In large-scale construction and infrastructure projects, worker accommodation is a key concern. Providing safe, comfortable, and quickly deployable housing ensures better worker welfare, improves productivity, and supports project continuity. Traditional concrete structures are often expensive and slow to build. In contrast, temporary prefabricated houses (also known as movable houses or modular site housing) offer a fast, flexible, and cost-effective alternative for construction sites

Analysis of Temporary Activity Sheds

One of our clients is an engineering project construction company that undertakes construction projects in remote areas. The site lacks any accommodation and living facilities. This project requires a housing solution that can be quickly erected, has strong durability, and is movable, to accommodate over 200 construction workers.

Solution: Prefabricated Movable Houses

We provided a customized modular housing solution using prefabricated steel-framed movable houses. Each unit was made from galvanized steel with insulated sandwich panels, ensuring durability and comfort in all weather conditions 

Structure : Galvanized steel frame + Flame-retardant insulation wall panels
Size : Customizable in single or double layer design, and can be combined to form dormitory areas.
Interior facilities : Bed, air conditioner, lighting, storage space
Supporting facilities : Public bathroom, dining area, office area
Construction period : The entire camp was completed within 5 days

Key Advantages

Fast Installation — The prefabricated system allowed for quick on-site assembly without heavy equipment.

Cost Efficiency — 40% lower cost compared to concrete buildings.

Reusability — After project completion, all units can be disassembled and transported to the next site.

Safety and Comfort — Fireproof, wind-resistant, and thermally insulated.

Customization — Layouts can be adjusted to include dormitories, canteens, or offices

K-type mobile prefabricated housing

Key Advantages

Our engineering team provided installation instructions and completed the entire camp construction within one week. The client was extremely satisfied with the construction speed and structural quality. The workers also reported a significant improvement in the living environment, as well as a notable increase in morale and work efficiency

Long-Term Impact

After project completion, the client reused the same modular houses for another construction site, saving over 60% on new housing setup costs. The durability of the galvanized steel structure ensured long-term reusability and sustainability
